Staying fit while Holidaying

One generally associates a holiday with hundreds of cuisines, variety of liquor, hiking, riding, sight-seeing, shopping, and so much more.

But one also starts dreading losing those huge biceps, perfect waistline, attractive 6 packs just by the idea of a lazy, indulgent time. There is no point in missing out on all the fun that a holiday provides. Do not cancel your plan! As here are a few things that will keep you fit & your body in shape while enjoying on a vacation.

Holiday exercises

Even if you don’t have a gym at your disposal, you can still train each body part without using those complicated machines or tools. There are various exercises including push ups, pull ups, free squats, alternate heel touchers, bench dips, bent-knee hit raise, flutter kicks, frog sit-ups, handstand push-ups, and many more. All these exercises do not require any weight but can efficiently tone your muscles and keep you fit.

Eat right

Yes there is a lot to eat and the temptations are high but before you grab anything and everything in your range, think about the calories it contain and what it can do to your abs and overall body. Yes, drop the idea of eating oily and fried food. Instead eat food that is high on protein and split your meals in small portions.

Drink less

It would be unfair to say that you shouldn’t drink at all. You are out there to enjoy and drinking is one of the main ingredients of enjoying nowadays. Although, what you can do is avoid cocktails as they tend to carry more calories and add more water to your drinks. Make sure you don’t go overboard with the liquor part and always eat food high in fiber content while drinking.

Take a walk

An after-dinner stroll can be just the thing; it can be a time to be all by yourself or find a partner who wishes to join you for a walk. Not only would it feel nice but will also burn extra calories.

Let the music play

Whether it’s your favorite song that’s playing or whether some bhangra number is on, just turn the volume up and start dancing. It'll burn your calories much faster then lying on a couch. Besides, it’s gonna be real fun.

Take rest

Tired of exploring the new place all throughout the day? Well, its time now to have a sound sleep. Make sure that you don’t alter your sleeping patterns much and assure a good sleep of about 8 hours.

Now that you are back from your vacation, measure yourself and smile! Wasn’t it cool to have enjoyed so much without actually compromising on your health at all? Don’t be afraid of going on a vacation anymore. Just set your habits right and you will never regret! (Health, MensXP.com)
